Chiefs and People of Zoliba-Tindongo appeal for a clinic

Chiefs and people of Zoliba-Tindongo electoral area in the Talensi Nabdam District of the Upper East Region have called on the government through the assembly to help assist the area with a health facility, portable drinking water as well as other social amenities. The appeal was made known during a victory rally held at Tindongo in honour of Charles Taleog-Ndanbon, the newly elected Assembly member for the area. Mr. Ndanbon who made the appeal on behalf of his people said his electoral area over the past years, has not experienced significant growth adding that the area is still grappling with lack of infrastructural development. He said the area though remains one of the viable economic communities in the region; it faces a lot of challenges in the area of electricity and the provision of portable drinking water among other health challenges. Mr. Ndanbon, however called on the district assembly, NGOs and other benevolent organization to come to their aid in addressing these challenges. He also expressed profound gratitude to the chiefs and people of the area for the confidence repose in him. He called for collaborative effort and support of the people, stressing that development can only strive if there is unity and cooperation. He also took the opportunity to caution all and sundry to discard their socio-ethnic and political affiliations and work towards the achievement of their respective communities particularly, in the fight against poverty. He said as part of his developmental plans, a festival would be celebrated by his electoral area each year for stock taking and sharing of ideas towards achieving developmental growth. The Talensi-Nabdam district Chief Executive, Mrs Vivian Anarfo urged the people to always come together and share ideas on how to develop the area through their own effort and selfless volunteerism. She touched on the increasing rate of girl child migration down south and called on parents and the authorities of the area to give it the needed attention. She described the situation as worrying since most girls who traveled down south to visit their relatives and friends during the Christmas season have not returned though schools are in session. Mr. Anarfo, moreover, charged parents to be responsible in the welfare of their children by playing their monitoring and supervisory roles effectively to ensure their safety at all levels particularly in the area of education. The Assembly mmber for Pelungu Electoral Area, Mr. Samare Patrick Pasure charged the people to rally their support for the assembly member elect devoid of politics. He also urged the people do away with the so called ‘African time syndrome’ by being time conscious.
